IPC Connect managing director Fiona Dent today announces changes in key publishing director responsibilities within the leading mass market Women's and TV Entertainment division.
The re-organisation follows a major restructure of IPC Media announced last November, which saw the integration of the TV Entertainment division IPC TX into mass market Women's division IPC Connect. In the new structure:
Sandy Gale is publishing director of Now, www.nowmagazine.co.uk, Woman's Weekly and Soaplife.
Angela O'Farrell is publishing director of Chat, What's on TV, www.whatsontov.co.uk and TV easy.
Oswin Grady is publishing director of Woman, www.goodtoknow.co.uk, goodtoknow Recipes, and TV & Satellite Week.
Julie Lavington continues in her role as publishing director of Look and www.look.co.uk
Niall Clarkson is appointed to the role of publishing director of Pick Me Up, Woman's Own and TVTimes.
Fiona says: IPC Connect's famous brands provide an incredibly powerful reach. Ten million mass market women enjoy our magazines that's 53% of all mass market women, while our digital brands reach a further 2.4 million mass market women every month.
This re-organisation of publishing responsibilities places Connect in the best possible position to benefit from the wealth of talent and experience we have in the division, enabling us to better serve our audience of mass market women and our advertising partners.
The restructure takes effect immediately.
